Automatic Characterization of Stories Automatic Characterization of Stories by Sudipta Kar A dissertation submitted to the Department of Computer Science, College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science Chair of Committee: Dr. Thamar Solorio Committee Member: Dr. Carlos Ordonez Committee Member: Dr. Rakesh Verma Committee Member: Dr. Mirella Lapata University of Houston May 2020 Copyright 2020, Sudipta Kar ACKNOWLEDGMENTS April 4, 2015, 3 AM. I just finished watching `The Ph.D. Movie'. I had gotten my student visa a day ago to travel to the USA and start my Ph.D. program. I still remember how scared I became after watching the movie. I was constantly thinking, should I cancel the admission and start preparing for a government job in Bangladesh or take the gamble? Five years later, I am about to finish this milestone and I am happy that I made the right decision that night. From my childhood, I am a huge fan of test cricket matches, where a single game between two teams runs for five consecutive days (each day has three sessions just like the three semesters in an academic year) and at the end, the game can produce no winning team at all. These five years of my Ph.D. journey were exactly like a test match. There were good and bad sessions, tough survival phases, dramas, moments that required strong teamwork and resilience, achievements, and proud moments. I am very happy that I had a lot of people backing me up in this period. First and foremost, I want to thank my amazing advisor Thamar Solorio. She taught me a lot about NLP, Machine Learning, and research during this time. But the most valuable learning from her is that the most important thing to be is a good human being in the first place and have a life outside of work. She was always very supportive, kind, and inspiring. There were numerous periods of extreme frustration. Once I had a one to one meeting with her, everything was fixed within 45 minutes. I could share anything with her and I always knew that while my parents are seven thousand miles away from me, my advisor is here to take care of everything. She is such a wonderful human being. I do not know how many Ph.D. students jammed rock music with their advisors. I am happy to say that I had that chance. Thank you for everything, Professor. I would like to thank Professor Carlos Ordonez and Rakesh Verma for serving my thesis iii committee and providing helpful feedback on my work. I also thank Professor Mirella Lapata for providing tremendous support to my thesis. I had the chance of enjoying her amazing keynote speech at ACL 2017 in Vancouver, Canada. The work in this thesis is very relevant to her research and I wanted to talk to her about it. I was a second-year Ph.D. student and was very hesitant to approach such a giant of NLP. Later I wrote her an email and she surprised me by agreeing to be in my committee. Her thoughtful insights into the research positively transformed my work a lot. I want to thank the past and current members of the RiTUAL group at UH. Everyone in this lab was super helpful, easy to collaborate. Thank you Adri´anPastor L´opez Monroy, Amirreza Shirani, Deepthi Mave, Giovanni Molina, Gustavo Aguilar, John Arevalo, Mahsa Shafaei, Nicolas Rey Villamizar, Niloofar Safi Samghabadi, Prasha Shrestha, Shuguang Chen, Siva Uday Sampreeth Chebolu, Suraj Maharjan, Thoudam Doren Singh, and Yi- geng Zhang. It was nice working with you all and I learned a lot from all of you. I want to give a special thanks to Suraj. He was a big brother in the lab who was always there helping me to learn new things, suggesting good papers, and even teaching deep learning concepts at 1 AM via hangout. I also want to thank Professor Fabio Gonz´alezfor making us familiar with many amazing concepts of Deep Learning when he was visiting us for a semester. NLP conferences were a happy part of this journey. I had the chance to attend many NLP conferences and interact with great minds in the community who encouraged me with a lot of ideas and suggestions. I want to thank Saif Mohammad, Rada Mihalchea, Dan Jurafsky, Ted Pederson, Preslav Nakov. Every time I met them, I came back with a lot of inspiration. I had the great opportunity to serve the NAACL Student Research Workshop' 2019 as a student chair. I want to thank Greg Durret, Na-Rae Han, Farah Nadeem, Laura Burdick who were the co-organizers of the workshop. Organizing this workshop helped me a lot to grow as a researcher. iv During my Ph.D. I had done three wonderful internships at Intel AI, GE Healthcare Data Science team, and Amazon Alexa. These three companies have very different areas of work where AI is being applied and I enjoyed a lot learning diverse things. I want to thank my amazing mentors ChinniKrishna Kothapali (Intel), Harini Eavani (Intel), Hsi-Ming Chang (GE), Ratna Saripalli (GE), Giuseppe Castellucci (Amazon), Simone Filice (Amazon), and Shervin Malmasi (Amazon). Special thanks to Ruhul Amin Shajib, who was my thesis supervisor during my undergrad in SUST, Bangladesh. He was a great mentor throughout my bachelors and even now he did not forget his crazy student and was always there for any discussion. I want to thank Professor M. Zafar Iqbal. These are two great teachers in my life who completely transformed me and for whom today I am doing NLP research. I am grateful to my parents, Prashad Ranjan Kar and Shiuli Bhawal for always being there. I am thankful to my wife Abantika Das Tonny, who was very supportive all the time and dealt with all of my mood swings. I want to thank my younger brother Showmick Kar for being there and indirectly pushing me to be a good example for him. My cousins, relatives, and in-laws were very supportive in this period. Thank you. I want to thank Auklesh Roy, Saimon Hossain, Nasir Uddin, Evanta Kabir, Imran Ahsan, Tahmid Rahman, and Emtiaz Ahmed for making me a part of their lives and families far away from home. Thanks to the people connected with me on social media for cheering to my every success, providing many ideas and encouragement from time to time. While I am writing this, the whole world has been traumatized by the COVID-19 virus. Around three million people are infected by this virus, and 215K people have died. Scientists, doctors, nurses, health workers, and law enforcement officials all over the world are trying their best to help the affected people, find out a vaccine to fight this highly contagious virus, finding out important patterns from data. I want to thank them. They are the heroes. v Dear Parents, I was in the third grade, we were going somewhere on a rickshaw when you two were telling me if I want to write books like what my favorite authors do, I need to study harder. I did not like studying but wanted to write. This little work is dedicated to you. Thank you for giving every bit of what you had for our happiness and education. vi ABSTRACT Computerized systems capable of generating high-level story descriptions have many poten- tial real-life applications. However, enabling computers to do so requires teaching computers to obtain an abstract understanding of natural language stories algorithmically, which is one of the non-trivial problems in Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing. In this dissertation, we tackle the challenge of automatically characterizing stories at a high-level by generating a set of tags from narrative texts written in English. We start by presenting a background study on the problem, discuss the required resources for research, and propose a new corpus to facilitate research on high-level story understanding by selecting tag prediction for movies as an application of this problem. Then, we focus on designing methods for high-level story understanding from written narratives and predicting tags for movies from the written plot synopses. First, we employ a wide range of linguistic features to design a machine learning approach for generating descriptive tags for stories from narrative texts. At the next step, we design a neural methodology for modeling the flow of emotions throughout stories and enhance a system that uses a high-level representation of narrative texts to predict tags. We furthermore exploit the hierarchical structure of text documents to encode the synopses and strengthen the tag prediction mechanism. In the final part of this dissertation, we demonstrate a technique utilizing user reviews to generate tags for characterizing stories at a high-level. We made the new dataset, the source code of the systems, and a live tag prediction system publicly available to the community to encourage further exploration in the direction of automatic story characterization. vii TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS . iii ABSTRACT ................................ vii LIST OF TABLES . xiii LIST OF FIGURES . xvi 1 Introduction 1 1.1 Less is more . 2 1.2 Motivation: A Case Study on Movies . 3 1.2.1 The Dilemma of Choice . 3 1.2.2 Letting People Know before They Choose . 6 1.2.3 Applicability . 8 1.3 Research Objectives . 9 1.4 Contributions . 10 1.4.1 Publications . 12 I Fundamentals of High-level Story Characterization 15 2 Background 16 2.1 Computational Narrative Studies: An Overview . 16 2.1.1 Characters and their Activities .

  • “Origin of the Medellin Cartel and Current Influences” By
    UNIDAD EDUCATIVA PARTICULAR JAVIER BACHILLERATO GENERAL UNIFICADO “ORIGIN OF THE MEDELLIN CARTEL AND CURRENT INFLUENCES” BY: Sebastian Andrade ADVISOR: Ms. Mario Cadena 3rd BGU - Section: B 2017 – 2018 GRATITUDE First I want to thank God that I feel that he has guided me throughout my life and has helped me in the most difficult moments, I also want to thank my parents who are undoubtedly the most important thing in my life and have always supported me in all decisions that I have made. People who have also made an impact on me, are my teachers, I thank them for giving me their knowledge and teachings that have served me throughout my life, thanks to their guidance I was able to achieve several goals, including the realization of my monograph. i SUMMARY The Medellin Cartel was a group led by Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria and made up of several internationally recognized drug traffickers. This group was well known by society as the top seller of drugs of that time, especially cocaine. His maximum leader, in this case Pablo Escobar, tried for a while to get involved in politics and pretended to be a good person with the people, for example, he gave money to the poor, he built many houses for a whole town and offered an illegal work to adolescents, but they accepted it even though they had to kill people because it was the only way to support their families. Colombia lived a hell under the command of Pablo Escobar, because by the simple fact that they did not obey him, he sent assassins to kill thousands of innocent people, he also carried out several bomb attacks in many cities, he was looking for the government to obey him, that the country was surrendered at his feet and that the police are frightened and didn’t capture him.

  • Conservative Culturalism in Narcos1 O Culturalismo Conservador Em Narcos
    COMUN. MÍDIA CONSUMO, SÃO PAULO, V. 15, N. 42, P. 111-129, JAN./APRIL 2018 DOI 10.18568/CMC.V15I42.1495 ARTICLE Conservative culturalism in Narcos1 O culturalismo conservador em Narcos Marcio Serelle2 Abstract: This paper investigates the conservative culturalism discourse in the two first seasons of Netflix series Narcos (2015-2016). The conservative cultur- alism (SOUZA, 2015) is an idea-force that defines Latin-American societies as insufficiently western places, marked by perversity and corruption. Narcos nar- rates, from an American perspective, the rising of drug trafficking in Colombia and the trajectory of Pablo Escobar. Thus, it mediates schematic representations of Latin Americans. Narcos domesticates some aspects of narcoculture and, at the same time, celebrates them in an audiovisual industrial format. In this article, I discuss those issues by analyzing narrative elements of the series, which, between fiction and document, circulates, with some controversy, as an account of the recent history of Latin America. Keywords: conservative culturalism; narcoculture; documentary reading; repre- sentation; Narcos, Netflix series. Resumo: Este artigo analisa o discurso do culturalismo conservador nas duas primeiras temporadas de Narcos (2015-2016), série da Netflix. O culturalismo conservador (SOUZA, 2015) é tomado, neste texto, como uma ideia-força que define sociedades latino-americanas como espaços insuficientemente ocidentais, marcados pela perversidade e corrupção. Ao narrar, a partir da perspectiva esta- dunidense, a emergência do tráfico na Colômbia e a trajetória de Pablo Escobar, Narcos medeia representações esquemáticas de latino-americanos. Domestica 1 A version of this text was presented at the Visual Culture Work Group at the 2017’s Interna- tional Association for Media and Communication Research (IAMCR) conference in Cartagena, Colombia.

  • Where Were You When They Killed Lara Bonilla? Politics of Drugs and Peace in Colombia (1982-1984)
    Where Were You When They Killed Lara Bonilla? Politics of Drugs and Peace in Colombia (1982-1984) By Jamie L. Shenk Advised by Professor Robert Karl A senior thesis submitted to the History Department of Princeton University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts Princeton, New Jersey April 5, 2016 This paper represents my own work in accordance with University regulations. /s/ Jamie Shenk ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to first thank my advisor, Professor Robert Karl, for his support throughout the course of this project. I began my study of Belisario Betancur’s presidency in the fall of my junior year in Professor Karl’s junior seminar. Since then, he has served as my essential guide, helping me navigate the nuances of my argument, the archives of Bogotá, and anything and everything Colombia-related. The opportunity to spend a summer in Colombia conducting research for this project proved crucial for the development of this thesis. My understanding of my topic’s broader context in Colombian society is largely built on what I learned outside of the archives. For that I must thank my friends in Bogotá and Medellín. So many were willing to share their personal stories of how this period in history touched them and their families. Their candidness provided both invaluable information and inspiration. Moreover, I would like to thank the archivists and professors who often went out of their way to track down and explain documents for me. In particular, I am thankful for Professor Óscar Calvo Isaza at the University of Antioquia, who gave me the most detailed explanation of Medellín’s archives that anyone could ever ask for.

  • Colombia: Coexistence, Legal Confrontation, and War with Illegal Armed Groups
    mauricio rubio 4 Colombia: Coexistence, Legal Confrontation, and War with Illegal Armed Groups Efforts to regulate campaign financing and political parties in Colom- bia came relatively late in the country’s history. Despite early discussions and proposals in the 1950s by both major parties—the Liberals and the Conser- vatives—and the Alberto Lleras Camargo administration (1958–62), Congress failed to pass any legislation on the matter. During this period, as Eduardo Pizarro (1998) argues, representatives in Congress made it clear that they were unwilling to rein in political parties.1 There was also a profound lack of interest in key aspects of party organization, given the traditional emphasis on democ- racy as a system to deliver social equality rather than a set of procedures for the establishment of government.2 But by the mid-1980s Colombia could neglect the issue no longer. Two threats to the system, namely drug-trafficking money in politics and the demands of the guerrilleros, helped usher in, for the first time in the country’s history, politi- cal financing regulations defining the role of the state in funding electoral cam- paigns. While these crises served as a catalyst for reform, the political turbulence they caused also hampered progress. In the years before the first set of reforms, it was evident that Colombian democracy was tainted by drug money. In 1983 Pablo Escobar had managed to infiltrate Nuevo Liberalismo (NL), a dissident party whose platform was the fight against corruption. After being expelled from NL, Escobar joined Alterna- tiva Popular, a faction of the majority Liberal Party, which led him to win a seat in the House of Representatives.
